Regarding the mutual destruction and growth of two very unhappy people

did you resent my relentlessness,
my thirst for the worst you had to offer?

yes

did you see me
gathering moondust in your wake,
breaking every law that governs hunter and prey?

where was i when your metaphor broke
and your heart touched hot red earth for the first time?


underground, pumping cold sand into and out of my lungs.

my body is holding secrets close and dark on the ocean floor,
and god knows you could never, ever ask for more


your eyes that shone like silver suicide were my cross to bear
and the silence i've left you with is yours.
